Aren't there ads in the free version? I believe you have to pay to remove them, but yes the app itself is free.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphauby:
Hi,

I just switched from Apple and bought my first Android Phone. I am loving the overall experience of Andriod and the power of the SIII but sometimes, it gives me a headache.

Often times, the phone becomes quite sluggish and unresponsive for a short time and then gets back to normal. This usually happens at the home screen and the phone takes a while to redraw the screens. The phone becomes very sluggish when moving from one screen to the next.

Sometimes I notice sluggishness in the contacts and in the messages.

I have tried Apex and Nova launchers too and am currently using GO Launcher. It is great and I was loving it all the way but after about 10 days of use, even GO launcher has become sluggish and during this time, I did not make changes to the phone nor added any new apps. It seems like the RAM is full with apps and little resources available to the launcher itself. I feel Andriod can do better with RAM management.

How can I speed up my phone ? Optimize my RAM / CPU resources ? Is there a solution or do I have to live with it ? I can't imagine a phone so powerful behaving this way.

Please Help ! Thanks.

I am using the I9300 with 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggman89:
Hi

The reason for this is sometimes the ram becomes full and to free it up android starts killing up processes, including the Launchers too.

The best solution would be to jack up the RAM, but that's not possible.

One way you can avoid it for 90% (if not 100%) is by using Nova Launcher.

Go to Nova Settings -> Scroll to the bottom -> Advanced -> Check on Aggressive Desktop.

What it'll do is that it'll try to keep the launcher in memory as much as possible reducing the redraws and slugginess.

It doesn't work always, but for most of the part it does.

Root your phone and install a custom kernel such as siyah. Allows you to adjust certain gpu and cpu options as well as deliver far better sound.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphauby:
Yes, rooting seems to be an option but that is the different route. I would like to try out the non rooting solutions first. I even installed Start Up Auditor and Watchdog, well theoratically it seems to be working but in the real sense, not most effective.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omeryounos:
Ok let's get it started.

Install nova or apex and enable keep in memory from their settings.

Disable ripple effect in lock screen settings.

Go in application settings - all and disable following.

S voice

S suggest

Samsung applications

Video hub

Music hub

Everything Samsung which has a small blue cloud as an icon, there will be 7-8 apps.

If you only use Gmail. And don't use email app, you can disable it and also exchange services.

Disable flipboard

Disable everything Yahoo.

Disable live wallpaper and use a static one.

Have only one weather widget installed at one time. I would say default weather widget is good enough.

You will gain good amount of ram.

These are good for finding the problematic apps but I would not recommend these to be run in background permanently.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphauby:
If I have to do ALL this .... then what's the point to buying the best in the market ? There is no better method than using all these small tweaks ?

I mean a top notch phone with great hardware and software should be able to do fine just on its own (without the tweaks) ...

Anyway ,,, my animations are already set to .05. I tried Nova, but GO launcher is just much better and faster. There is nothing in the settings or an app, that can reserve more RAM for the desktop and keep the million apps from running in the background ? Even when I kill apps from Watchdog, they pop right up after a few seconds.

I was showing off my phone to a friend who owns Apple, and right there in the middle of my Demo, The curse began and my desktop took 10 seconds to load ... it was pretty embarassing. :o
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
But this is Android my friend vastly different from the generic iPhone where everything works out of the box and everything looks the same but you are highly restricted in what you can do.

With Android you can modify and change to your hearts content, my Galaxy S3 has none of the problems you have, it whizzes along with superb battery life, people have already given good advice to you, usually noobs are told to use the search function

BTW not a chance is Go Launcher better than Nova, the best launcher in the business

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
I see from the above that you came from Apple... you know, you have the Android phone now, most of the stuff unfortunately have something to read or to set up. This is especially important for ANY apk which was not written specifically for I9300, as there are plenty of Android devices on the market.

and, typically for plenty: My IPhone was brilliant, and now I have to suffer, my, oh my!. Let's start from beginnig: you have changed the Launcher on I9300 for something what was not specifically designed for it (it is only COMPATIBLE, I mean: was not optimized). Try to replace it on iPhone, and then claim something, please.

OK, let's try to make your Go Launcher more playable now.

While on main screen, push menu button, then open preferences.

go to advanced, here you will find two important for you options:

1. System persistent and 2. Prevent force close.

Furthermore, unless you will root phone and uninstall/disable TW, it will be always somewhere in running processes.

Finally, please tell how many widgets do you have, Live wallpaper? etc.

Last but not least: you should look on the processes running in background rather than on apps. And feel free to use Go task switcher for that, it is add-on to Go Launcher, and free as well.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruibullseye:
Hi yesterday i've flashed RootBox v3.5 stable(not nightly).

So far i'm very impressed with the smoothness of RB, aswell as deep sleep ratio with stock kernel.

If possible i would like to have some information about this rom, that i havent found using search in rootbox thread.

How do i display only my SIM contacts ? ( i was able to import them from SIM card to phone, but i would like to have the option to only view the contacts from my SIM card)

How do i insert a new contact only to my SIM ? ( after importing SIM card contacts, if i try to add a new one, it will go directly to my google account, but i only want to add a new contact to SIM card, i've tried clicking in everything but can't find the option to insert only in SIM card)

How do i change the Keyboard style from texting ? (I've noticed there is only one keyboard layout, any zip or something that i'm able to flash to get numeric keyboard)

Any way to change the SMS layout bubbles ? (i've only found mms, i would like to have bubble speech baloons with different color for sender/receiver )

Where can i set a sms or call sound file from my mp3 ? ( i've search for it, but i can't find any option to select a mp3 sound from my phone)

When i insert my 3.5mm headphone jack, there isnt any notification of it in status bar, and when i go to Settings - RootBox Settings - HeadSet and active it, it gives me FC on DSP Manager.

So far this is the only problems i've got, where the real "bug" was the last one.

Appreciate all your help.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannibal226:
U can't only show the SIM contacts.

Only thing u can do is import or export the contacts from or to zip.

That's not possible with stock keyboard. U have to use a third-part keyboard here like 'Go keyboard' or 'SwiftKey' [look at playstore]

This one's have&manage Designs.

MMS is in this point the app. So u write the SMS via the MMS.apk.

So this means u can go to the Message app > settings > mms theme...

Here u can set bubble style in massagelist or kind of this

Tey to coy the mp3's to System > media > audio...

For sms sound: notification

For call sound: ringtone

Not this should appear in settings of phone (ringtone) or the message app (sms).

If this won't work, u have to convert the mp3 to Ogg first.

Why u want a notification?

The is no notification - so if it works, all is fine.

Because FCs in DPS, just ignore this and wait for newer version in this case.

Nice game. Looks better in landscape then portrait but nice that it supports both. Cant wait for an English version
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Mumups:
You won't get an English version, or even an xplay optimised version.

Tecmo-Koei have become incredibly lazy, most of their console games never get localised, and the newer musou games don't even have an English dub anymore. They purposely leave out game modes so customers have to buy expansion packs

All they do is milk their customers

This company is complete scum lately :(

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Justinchi:
As much of a fanboy as I am about the Warriors games, I have to agree with Mumups. That laziness reflects on the quality of the DW games over the years. They got worse and worse. They need to revamp the entire game system, re-igniting the characters' classic weapons, adding better and more challenging fighting elements beyond hack and slash, expand maps to make them more exploratory inside buildings and across various terrains, and other new stuff. I used to love DWs, but Koei....u failing...

Maybe your system storage is low.

Download Link2SD, then click the menu button on your phone and select storage info, then you see something like "System"

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Sadra..:
Check if your boot animation's size, if it's alot, download another one from the internet.
